The family and I are planning on taking a road trip to Minneapolis (from Winnipeg) this fall. Driving for 10 hours with the kids – which includes rest/bathroom stops – won’t be exactly peachy and will probably end up being a blog post in itself (stay tuned for that one). Since it’s nearly impossible to read a map and concentrate on driving in any major metropolitan area at the same time, I decided to eliminate any fighting that is guaranteed to happen between me and my wife. I went out and purchased a Magellan GPS system.
